Subject: [patch 2.6.27.y 4/6] firewire: fix struct fw_node memory leak

Date: Thu, 16 Oct 2008 18:00:15 -0400
From: Jay Fenlason <fenlason@...hat.com>

With the bus_resets patch applied, it is easy to see this memory leak
by repeatedly resetting the firewire bus while running slabtop in
another window.  Just watch kmalloc-32 grow and grow...

Same as commit 77e557191701afa55ae7320d42ad6458a2ad292e.
